I've never seen pink in a Five Guys burger, yet plenty of juices do seem to run out when I bite into one. Maybe it's really fatty meat or something about the grilling style, but they are indeed "juicy and well done."

It does seem to be a touch on the expensive side (although honestly, the prices don't shock me because a good burger here runs at least $7-8). But the awards they post on their walls tout having the best value in burgers around. I've always wondered how they win those awards at those prices.
